Table 1.
The number of alleles in different categories and their occurrence in the two groups (W and R) and sexes (gynes and males)
| Allele category | Total no. of alleles | Mean number per individual | |||
| W males | W females | R females | R males | ||
| Diagnostic to W | 8 | 3.3 | 4.1 | — | — |
| Diagnostic to R | 11 | — | — | 4.1 | 4.7 |
| Admixed from W to R | 5 | 2.0 | 5.0 | 3.0 | — |
| Admixed from R to W | 3 | — | 0.8 | 2.6 | 0.9 |
| Female-specific | 3 | 0.0 | 0.9 | 1.2 | — |
| Shared | 24 | 11.5 | 23.0 | 22.8 | 11.3 |
The numbers of alleles per individual were calculated over the microsatellite loci. A dash indicates that no allele was observed and 0.0 indicates that the number of observed alleles was less than 0.05 per individual. “Shared” refers to alleles observed in gynes and males of both groups even though there were frequency differences. One rare allele was omitted as it could not be classified.
